~1 ~O ~ Docket: WA 9~06-S~1~03 ~1 Paper No. 1 HOMOGENEOUS HYDROSILYLATION CA~LYSTS Field_of_Invention The present invention relates to transition metal containing organosiloxanes, a process for the preparation thereof, a hydro-silylation process in the presence of the transition metal-contain-in~ organosiloxanes and compositions which comprise the transition metal-containin~ organosiloxanes as homogeneous hydrosilylation catalysts. Back~round of InventiQn It is known that the addition of Si-bonded hydrogen to an ali-phatic multiple bond, which is described as hydrosilylation, can be promoted by transition metal catalysts, in particular platinum compounds. EP-A-546 716 describes platinum centers bonded to poly-siloxane resins via amino groups and use thereo~ as heterogeneous hydrosilylation catalysts. Heterogeneous catalysts have to be removed from the product after the rPaction, since they impair the product's properties such as transparency and mechanical proper-ties.Polysiloxane-bonded platinum catalysts for hydrosilylation are known ~rom U.S. 3,795,656. According to the process described therein, chloroplatinic acid is reacted with organosilicon com-pounds having functional amino groups to give organosilicon compounds containing ammonium-platinum(IV) adducts. These organo-silicon compounds possess a strongly polar salt-like structure and form lumps or set solid if they are present in pure form. They can therefore be re-dispersed only with great difficulty and can be homogeneously incorporated in silicones as solutions. Furthermore, the preparation of these organosilicon compounds from strongly

2~283~1 ~ ~lar chloroplatinic acid and a weak polar amino-functional oryano-silicon compound is problematical because of solubility di~fer-ences. US 4,398,010 describes the reduction of the above organo-silicon compound containing ammonium-platinum(IV) adducts, the platinum(IV) centers being reduced to the oxidation stage zero in the presence of bases. The reduction gives solids which can be used as homogeneous hydrosilylation catalysts only as solutions.C. Hu et al., J. Organomet. Chem. 1986, 307 (1), 115 describe platinum complexes intended for chemo'therapy for th~ treatment of cancer, which complexes have ethylendiamino-functional silanes or disiloxanes and Cl as ligands. The salt-like potassium tetra chloroplatinate is used as starting material in the synthesis and is carried out in water. The process fails when non-polar rela-tively high-molecular weight aminofunctional siloxanes are used.SummarY of Invention It is an object of the present invention to provide hydrosily-lation catalysts which can be used homogeneously, neither discolor nor make turbid the product of the hydrosilylation reaction, and can be prepared in a simple way.The present invention provides transition metal-containing organosiloxanes of at least three organosiloxane units, which comprise at least one transition metal complex~ chemically bonded via ligands selected from among amino, phosphino or sulfido groups, of Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru, Os or Ir, excluding those organosiloxanes which contain exclusivel~y Pt(O) complexes bonded via amino ligands.The present invention ~lso provides a hydrosilylation process, which comprises reacting (A) compounds comprising radicals having aliphatic carbon--carbon multiple bonds, with (B) compounds having Si-bonded hydrogen atoms, selected from among silanes or siloxanes, or, instead of (A) and (B), 212~3~~ 'C) c~mpounds having aliphatic carbon~carbon multiple bonds and Si-bonded hydrogen atoms, in the presence of (D) transition metal-containing organosiloxanes of the invention as hydrosilylation catalyst.The transition metal-containing organosiloxanes (D) do not isomerize, or isomerize to only a small extent, the compounds (A) comprising radicals having aliphatic carbon-carbon multiple bonds.The transition metal-containing organosiloxanes ~D) are ther-mally stable and ~o not discolor any hydrosilylation products by colloidal transition metal formed in the hydrosilylation~The transition metal-containing organosiloxanes (D) can be used in all processes for reacting compounds comprising Si-bonded hydrogen ato~s with organic compounds having aliphatic multiple bonds, wherein use was made of catalysts which promote the molecu~lar addition o~ Si-bonded hydrogen to an aliphatic multiple bond.For the purpose of the present invention, organic compounds (A) having aliphatic multiple bonds also include organic compounds having cycloaliphatic multiple bonds.Examples of compounds (A) having aliphatic multiple bonds are compounds having a~ aliphatic carbon-carbon double bond, such as styren2, allyl glycidyl ether, allyl cyanide, allyl acetate, allyl-succinic anhydride, glycol monoallyl ether, allyl methacrylate, allylamine and cyclohexene, and compounds having an aliphatic carbon-carbon triple bond, such as acetylene and butynol~(A) compounds, comprising radicals having aliphatic carbon- `carbon multiple bonds, are preferably organopolysiloxanes com-prising radicals having aliphatic carbon-carbon multiple bonds.The organopolysiloxanes (A), which comprise radicals having aliphatic carbon-oarbon multiple bonds, are preferably linear or branched organopolysiloxanes of units of the formula ` ~ 21283~1 - ~ RlaR2bsiO4-a-b (1) 2 ::where 1 is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical ~ree o~ aliphatic carbon-carbon multiple bonds and having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms per radical and R2 is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having an aliphatic ! carbon-carbon multiple bond and having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms per radical a is 0, 1, 2 or 3, b is 0, 1 or 2 , and the sum a+b is 0, 1, 2 or 3, with the proviso that on average there are at least 2 radicals R2 present per molecule.The organopolysiloxanes i(A) preferably possess an averag~ vis-,i~ cosity of from 100 to 10,000 mPa s at 25C.Examples of hydrocarbon radicals R1 are alkyl radicals such as the methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, iso-pentyl, neo-pentyl, tert-pentyl radical; hexyl ~l 20 radicals such as the n-hexyl radical; heptyl radicals such as the :I n-heptyl radical; octyl radicals such as the n-octyl radical and iso-octyl radicals such as the 2,2,4-trimethylpentyl radical; nonyl radicals such as the n-nonyl radical; decyl radicals such a the n-decyl radical; dodecyl radicals such as the n-dodecyl radical; .~ j octadecyl radicals such as the n-octadecyl radical; cycloalkyl ~ :~ radicals such as the cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl radicals

Subsequently, a further 160 g of the above mentioned mixed polymer were metered in over the course of 1 hour. After a reaction time of 1 hour at a temperature of 100C, another 80.7 mg of polymer catalyst 3 were added and the mixture reacted for an additional hour at lOO~C. 260 g ~99% of Th.) of a clPar oil having a viscosity of 520 mPa-s at room temperature and an Apha color number of ~l 25 150 in accordance with DIN ISO 6271 were obtained. Comparative Example 11 , Polysiloxane-bonded platinum catalyst aAalo~ous to_that described in US 3 795.656, which is used as intermediate in analo~v with US 4,398.010. 10 g of an ~,w-(aminomethylaminopropyl)polydimethylsi-loxane haviny an average chain length of 70, an amine number 212~3~1 of 0.75 and a viscosity of 119 mm2/s were stirred with 1.8 g of hexachloroplatinic acid (H2PtC16 x H20; Pt: 40% by wPight) in a mixture of 125 g of toluene and 20 g of ethanol for 2 hours at 25C. Despite the large amount o~ solvent, no completely homogeneous solution was obtained. The ora~ge mixture contained gel-like particles. The above mentioned amount and composition of the solvent mixture did giv~ the , best solution behavior.`I , After evaporation of the s~lvent mixture at 30C/1 mbar, 0 11 . 8 g of an orange solid were obtained. The evaporation was extremely difficult since strong ~oaming occurred.B Polysiloxane-bonded ~latinum catalvst an loq~us to that described in US 4~398~010 by reaction of the Product from A .:',! with_divinyltetramethyldisiloxane and NaHCO3 in ethanol.Th~ ratios used of the starting material~ are selected in '~ analogy with US 4,298,010. ,.~ 11.8 g of the product from A were slurried in 11.8 g of ethanol and, since no homogeneous solution was formed, mixed with 0.35 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate and 1.2 g of divinyl-~'; 20 tetramethyldisiloxane and stirred for 2 hours under reflux. Subsequentlyl the mixture was stirred for about 15 hours at room temperature. An orange, nonhomogeneous mixture was obtained. After addition of about 20 g of tetrahydrofuran, the mixture was mostly homogeneous.
